Why all of this fuss over coloring books? First of all, it’s just plain fun! But current day research also indicates that coloring de-stresses and lessens anxiety in adults, providing a healthy break from our highly scheduled, technology-dependent lives.

The Freeport Community Library is providing a dedicated space every Wednesday morning for anyone 18 and older who would like to drop-in at 10:30am and color for an hour or so. The library provides an assortment of materials including highly detailed coloring book pages for you to choose from, colored pencils, and a large assortment of crayons. Or, bring your own coloring book pages to copy and share with the group, which numbered eight coloring enthusiasts at the first meeting!
